Android 64k method limit error on 56k methods

Question

I\'m receiving this error in my android project:

Unable to execute dex: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536
Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to exe         


        

Answer 1

Are you using obfuscation? Proguard can remove non-used method, so you will fit in the limit. Also, you could split your project into modules. The 65k limit is per dex file, and module is separate dex file.

You could also configure Proguard to inline short methods- thay should remove a lot of short methods.
